  • 1 Introduction
    1 Introduction 1.1 On the 18 May 2010 I was instructed by Jersey Heritage to carry out an independent assessment and produce a report on the architectural and historical interest of the 1952 Jersey Odeon Cinema. The building is listed as a Site of Special Interest (SSI). The brief included placing the Odeon into the wider UK context with reference to the development of cinemas generally. Photographs of the building were also requested. A full inspection was carried out on 6 July 2010. 1.2 I am a freelance consultant working in the planning, heritage and conservation sector. I am also currently employed by The Theatres Trust - The National Advisory Public Body for Theatres and a statutory consultee in the planning process within the UK - as its Planning and Heritage Adviser. An acknowledged expert in theatre and cinema buildings, I have over 20 years planning, architectural, urban design, conservation and regeneration experience. Previously I was Principal Urban Design and Conservation Officer for the London Borough of Hounslow dealing with listed buildings, conservation areas, planning and urban design issues and more recently (2008) working as a freelance conservation and design consultant for the London Borough of Hillingdon. I hold a degree in Estate Management and a Postgraduate Diploma in Historic Building Conservation from the Architectural Association (AA). I am a Chartered Town Planner (MRTPI) and a Full Member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC). I also serve on the Casework Committees of the Cinema Theatre Association, the Twentieth Century Society and the Victorian Society. 1.3 Dr Elain Harwood has agreed to edit this report.

  • 'A British Empire of Their Own? Jewish Entrepreneurs in the British Film
    ‘A British Empire of Their Own? Jewish Entrepreneurs in the British Film Industry’ Andrew Spicer (University of the West of England) Introduction The importance of Jewish entrepreneurs in the development of Hollywood has long been recognized, notably in Neil Gabler’s classic study, An Empire of Their Own (1988). No comparable investigation and analysis of the Jewish presence in the British film industry has been conducted.1 This article provides a preliminary overview of the most significant Jewish entrepreneurs involved in British film culture from the early pioneers through to David Puttnam. I use the term ‘entrepreneur’ rather than ‘film-maker’ because I am analyzing film as an industry, thus excluding technical personnel, including directors.2 Space restrictions have meant the reluctant omission of Sidney Bernstein and Oscar Deutsch because the latter was engaged solely in cinema building and the former more significant in the development of commercial television.3 I have also confined myself to Jews born in the UK, thus excluding the Danziger brothers, Filippo del Giudice, Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, Alexander Korda, Harry Saltzman and Max Schach.4 I should emphasize that my aim is to characterize the nature of the contribution of my chosen figures to the development of British cinema, not provide detailed career profiles.5 The idea that Jews controlled the British film industry surfaced most noticeably in the late 1930s when the undercurrent of anti-Semitic prejudice in British society took public forms; Isidore Ostrer, head of the giant Gaumont-British Picture Corporation (GBPC) was referred to in the House of Commons as an ‘unnaturalised alien’ (Low 1985: 243).
